$850k should be on the table to his manager as we speak

And after that we can discuss what we will pay Wines

 

[TigerMoz1973]

Trelol - went to Lollingwood... did they lure him with a) a job to his girlfriend and b) something else...

Does anyone have facts??

According to AFL.COM.AU, Ollie Wines has put off contract negotiations until the end if next year.

Article actually says next year, not end of next year

Yeah i know, but it also referenced hawthorn, geelongs and adelaide's 'dread'. So I'm actually not sure when he has put off talk until. But he has put them off irregardless.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

If he decides to go, surely no one else would be able to offer anything close to what we should be able to ???

If the Doggies can afford to pay Boyd 99.5% of their salary,Fair few could afford Ollie apart from us.
Melbourne(Always dips their toes in).
Hawks.(Maybe not as much at the start but success is always a huge carrot,Then once Hodge.Mitchell & Co retire).
Are the 2 main threats IMO.

I Didn,t actually(have now though).
Obvious really.
Might be a stroke of Luck that Mrs Treloar decided to take the 9 job.

How good is Wines going to look in a Tigers jumper. Standing around the circle with Dusty and Cotch. Won't need a ruckman.






We can just use Hampson!

Needs to be a special order with a large neck gto allow for that massive head.
Im sure we can free up #16 for him as its not being used

 

[Thrillhouse!]

Parker is another. Swans are hoping to have him stitched up before season starts.

What is the Wines / Richmond connection ?

 

[Tiger Claw]

Excited but only in the way you do for someone that you might not reach. Been there done that, won't hold my breath.

None. He grew up in country Victoria and barracked for Melbourne.

Is Tyrone the biggest name we have off contract next year ?

 

[tunksy]

i honestly dont think we'll land anyone unless we win a prelim

He's the only free agent we need to sign, but there are a quite few others coming out of contract

I'd say getting to a prelim should be enough to land a gun player, not necessarily win one
Although if Port also make a prelim then maybe it will be a bit tougher to get Wines across

The fact he knows he will look great wearing our jumper. #photoshopwinesintigersjumper

I don't think Port will be able to match what other clubs are offering though. I would happily throw $1m at him. He's the best young midfielder in the competition and oozes leadership. He's basically everything we need.

True, although with the expected salary cap rise from the new TV deal in 2017 they will still be able to offer a big deal. That's why success may come into it first. If he feels that they are on the verge of success at Port then he may be loyal and stay for less money.

I hope we resign key players early in the season then see what is left to offer Wines, we have a few who will probably deserve pay rises, although given we were offering some big bucks around this recent trade period, it should leave us with something like $1m to throw around if needed. Under the old salary cap I'd be offering about $800-850k, but with the pending increase $1m is probably reasonable.

Adelaide in general is helping too
